    Whenever I screw up my omelette, I just pretend that I was making scrambled eggs from the start.

      Whenever I try to make an omelette and my roommate asks what am I making, I tell them eggs just so that if I do mess up they won't call me out on it.

      @pssurvivor Před 7 lety +242

      And if it gets burnt you can always call it a char grill. Nothing went wrong until it's burnt to ashes :P

    One of the very first things I remember watching on CZcams is Julia Child making this exact kind of omelette. She had a different way of making it but this one looks...cleaner, for a lack of better terms. I bet they're both delicious.
